Harvest Moon DS is a game for the Nintendo DS device where you are a virtual farmer raising crops, livestock and poultry. You also try to rescue the Harvest Sprites that were banished by the Witch Princess. In this guide I will explain in detail how to unlock all of the twelve members of the Lumber Team.

Steps

1

Oran

Oran is the Leader of the Orange Lumber team. His appearance differs from the other sprites because he is a leader.

To unlock Oran, you have to wait until Winter 2nd when you leave your house in the morning for Thomas' Winter Request.

Thomas will appear and ask you for a randomly chosen item.

Make sure you have it, and when he comes by at 4:30pm to collect the shipping, hand it to him.

He will give you a piece of Golden Lumber before a cutscene happens where Oran appears and Thomas has an argument with him.

2

Bran

Bran is a reasonably easy sprite to get because you don't have to unlock anything in the game or spend any money.

To unlock Bran you must take your axe out of your rucksack and place it in the red tool slot.

When you approach a small wooden branch (commonly found on any farmland or similar) press Y until a wooden stump appears in your inventory.

Continue this until you have 99 wooden stumps in your inventory.

Collect one more, and a cutscene will appear where Bran comes back.

3

Decoy

Decoy is a reasonably easy sprite to get because you don't have to unlock anything in the game or spend any money.

To unlock Decoy you must take your axe out of your rucksack and place it in the red tool slot.

When you approach a small wooden branch (commonly found on any farmland or similar) press Y until a wooden stump appears in your inventory.

Continue this until you have 249 wooden stumps in your inventory.

Collect one more, and a cutscene will appear where Decoy comes back.

4

Woody

To unlock Woody you must take your axe out of your rucksack and place it in the red tool slot.

Continue this until you have 499 wooden stumps in your inventory.

Collect one more, and a cutscene will appear where Woody comes back.

5

Pierre

Pierre's unlocking task is similar to the above, except you have to have a higher-level axe.

After a few days your newly upgraded axe will arrive. Head to a tree stump in the ground. You can find them all around. Press Y longer than usual to obtain more power, and release. After a few tries the stump should vanish and the wood will appear in your hands.

Chop up 14 more of these.

A cutscene will appear in which Pierre will arrive

This task is simple, as long as you have money and a mystrile ore.

Phone Saibara Blacksmith and ask for a mystrile upgrade for your axe.

Wait while the order is being completed. It will take around 3 days.

When the axe is delivered, use it.

Fen is probably the hardest sprite from this team to find. With work, however, you can find him.

Unlock the 3rd Mine. This requires getting to the bottom of the 1st and 2nd mine.
